That comes little expensive, but

money can have good time on q small
sum. Loaded cartridges that would
be suitable for this $15 gun cost from
So. so to 81 hundred, according to the
grade of powder. It would be a poor
sportsman who couldn't get 81 worth Of
birds out Of 100 shots, SO the ammuni-
ton part of it ought to be at least self

ers and backwoodsmen won't have any

What is the safest kind Of a gun ?"
The hammerless breech-loader. It
is superseding everything. There are,
of course, many different kinds, but the
principle is the same. There is no ham
mer projecting from the gun and, con-
sequently no risk Of it being caught IN
your coat or in a bramble and causing a
premature discharge. The triggers are
protected too, for there is sort of
brake which you apply when you're not
going to shoot. Gums like that, hand
somely mounted, cost from $125 up.
They save time and trouble, for they
are self cooking. Winchester rifles are
as low as $18.75 and as high as you
choose to pay. Remingtons are from
$40 up, Ballards the same price and
Frank Wessons from $25. They are
used in this part Of the country for
small game.
They are making more ammunition
in this country than they did. That big
show case over there is display OF

turer, which was shown at the centen-

Ecognito; but we believe it has never
subjected him to the inconvenient joke
Of being mistaken for patient at an in

When Sir Edward was Lord Chan
cellor Of Ireland, he paid a visit to a
lunatic asylum nearDublin, somewhat
by surprise, as he wished to ascertain
its real condition. The only noti6ca-

very short time before he did) was sent
by some wag Of his witty nation Nao
evidently had a mind to get some fun
outzof 1t. Itfhappened that the super
intendent was absent when this notice
reached the establishment, and the sub
{ ordinate official received it in good faith,
and acted upon it accordingly. What
the notice was may be guessed from what
follows.
On Sir Edwards arrival, he found
himself rather uncerenonio iously treated
J, and after waiting in the parlor for the

From the Cleveland Leader
The autopsy on the body of Robert
E. 0dlum, the man who leaped into the
East river, from the Brooklyn bridge,
not only showed that the fall had
crushed nearly all his vital organs, but
also disclosed the fact that, in spite OF
his magnificent muscular development
and stalwart physique, his body was
far from sound. There was atubercu-
lar deposit at the apex of the eftlung,
his liver had been ruptured years be-
fore and healed again, and one kidney
showed fatty degeneration while the
other was full Of cystic degeneration.
That is to say, he was likelyto become
a consumptive or to die OF kindey
disease, and yet Odlum was q
man Of fine physique and rugged
appearance. When G fairfield died, the
surgeons learned that his digestive
organs were not In good condition,
though he was q remarkably strong,
healthy man. It was the same way
Wlth one of the athletic, hardy despe-
radoes killed in the fight near Shelby,
O., a year or so ago. In fact, it seems
as II the doctors could discover some

Among the players was q very nice
young fellow, a graduate of Yale Col

with his fellows. Another member
of the party was a one-eyed
stranger, and the rest was made up OF
other honest miners about the camp.
The play went on from early in the
evening until about midnight, and all
this time the one-eyed man seemed TO
get all the good hands, Several times
the college graduate thought he saw
that the man was cheating, but he did
not appear to notice it.
cat midnight the college graduate
rose up and quietly said: Gentlemen,

we take a recess, and have some oysS

Well, the motion was carried, the oys,

The one-eyed man lost every cent OF
winnings, and as daylight broke
through the dirty panes Of the saloon
windows he arose declaring himself
dead broke.n

A GREAT EXCITEMENT.
An Immense Crowd Gathers on Market
Street.

Market street, in the vicinity of the
REGISTER Office, was crowded with an as
semblage of people, big and small, last
evening, and it WAS about all two police
men could do to keep the sidewalk clear OF
the surying mass of humanity.
'.Fight?" inquired each person as he
came up and swelled the crowd. No; it
wasn't fight, there were too many smiles
n. the faces OF the ps0pls, but to follow
their eager stare, the cause of the CONNIE
ton was at once seen.
There in front OF Geo. L. bursts candy
palace stood a young man handing out
freshly made sweetmeats to the passersby,
and there was probably more candy and
the finest kind of candy too, eaten IN the
CITY Last evening than on any Christmas
for a long time. When the people who
got some of that candy, last evening, want
more you may be sure they will know ex-
actly where to secure it. Mr.. Durst s
connections for purity, flavor and general
excellence, cannot be equalled in the city.
But we were speaking OF the crowd.
They were watching with the greatest in
terest the workmen inside, who were en-
gagged in making CONNECTIONS. One was
working a long strip Of chocolate candy
into the right consistency for reducing
into the proper size. Across the room was
the other workman busily manufacturing
cream drops which were distributed to pc
destrians as soon as they were cool enough.
Both of these workmen are from the
East, and cannot be excelled in their line,
and Mr.. Durst certainly shows great en-
terprise in bringing them here, although
Wheeling people are surely approaching
his efforts to give them something they
never had before fresh candies and con-
fections every day.
To-day will be fancy cake day at Mr.
Durst's establishment, and the public Is
cordially invited into his factory any time
during the day 10 witness the operation Of
manufacturing cakes, etc.
